- Adventure0466886882100Great way to spend a winter’s eveningThe tour guide was very knowledgeable, funny and courteous. We saw and learned about places in London we otherwise would have overlooked. It was a very entertaining and atmospheric experience
- 912shauns00Jack the Ripper tour: with respect for the victimsAs a London history nerd, of course I had to do a Jack the Ripper tour. My tour guide, Angie, knew her stuff and was engaging but her respect for all the women shone through. This is not a ghoulish tour. Rather simply factual, atmospheric, with total respect for every victim. Great value for 2hrs of London history.
- 805dantea00A must for both history buffs and not!It was a wonderful experience as we were lead throughout the streets of London by our massively knowledgeable tour guide Angie. She spoke with such passion and is clearly a fanatic which made the tour all the more enjoyable. Would recommend for anyone who is visiting London!
- pbainbridge88100Highly recommend tour with Jeremy..Right from the start we knew this was going to be an interesting tour. Jeremy our tour guide was very engaging and knowledgeable. He explained with respect for the victims of Jack the Ripper. Even when the tour was over he went out of his way to help us find the nearest tube station . Thanks again Jeremy .
- jameshh63400Passionate AngieThis was our 2nd tour with Angie (Highgate cemetery) and she really is a great tour guide and is so enthusiastic, knowledgeable and passionate about the subject that it’s infectious ! Highly recommend the tour and makes for a great night
- SCBN7100Great tour with a great guide 😊An absolutely fantastic evening and well worth £12. Richard is a master tour guide. Passionate, entertaining, engaging with a great voice which no-one should struggle to hear. The tour is based on many years of Richard's own research and writing, so there is an integrity and commitment to the stories of the area. Couldn't recommend Richard's tour any more highly ... and I can't wait to join him again for some more of his tours in the future 😊👍🏽
- todmalone7700Delightful EveningJeremy was the best guide, had spot on historical accuracy and humor. Our group had so much fun despite the dark historical background to the tour!
- Rosie M00Highly recommendAngie was an absolutely brilliant tour guide. She is so knowledgable and we could see how much she loved history and telling us the story of Jack the Ripper. Me and my partner Joe enjoyed every step of the evening and have recommended this tour to family and friends. Try and book on to Angie’s tour!
- kathleen24201700Great walking tour for history studentsWe’ve been taking our year 11 students on this walking tour for a number of years as part of our study of GCSE crime and punishment and it is always fantastic. This year we had Angie and Jeremy who were amazing and really engaged our students. The students were really enthused and asked lots of questions. And they told lots of the other staff/students about it when the got back. Highly recommended.
- Dominic P00Ask for AngieWe took a Saturday evening tour with Angie. Fantastic guide, very knowledgeable about the area and the relevant time period. She added a lot of excellent context to events and the neighbourhood (not *just* the murders). Led the group well. Couldn't recommend any better.
- 382kerib00Highly recommend!We did the tour with Jeremy and it was awesome. I dragged the other three in my group to it and they ended up absolutely loving it. Jeremy provided so much history about the events and made a point of providing the history of the victims which was appreciated as they don't always get mentioned. If you're going to do a tour then do this one, especially with Jeremy.
- Sally S00Great Ghost Walk in London.This is one of the best Ghost Walks I have been on. It was absolutely pouring with rain, but the history and the ghost stories kept me so entertained that it didn't matter. Excellent guide, who knew his stuff and added fantastic humor into the mix. Great night, great price and well worth the money.
- robertkH5907JZ00Great Jack The Ripper Tour!Great Jack The Ripper Walking Tour! Would recommend if you have 2 hours free one afternoon Tour guide was Jeremy who was informative, humorous and kept to the 2 hour mark Would recommend!
- Maxwell9000Angie the Top Jack the Ripper Tour GuideAngie was excellent. She dealt with the subject and the management and safety or the group with great aplomb. The tour route was atmospheric in the dark and wet. Great walk and dark subject sympathetically handled for the victims.
- chrispusey647600Jack the Ripper tour with AngieAngie was our tour guide. She was brilliant. Funny, knowledgeable and engaging throughout. The tour took two hours and ran like clockwork. Lovely pace and suitable for all abilities. Angie always waited until everyone could hear and was always happy to answer question’s. From simple online booking to timely tour it was a breeze and great experience Definitely recommend 👍🏻

Jeremy was our tour guide and his enthusiasm & knowledge is what made this tour engaging and interesting. The tour from start to finish was just brilliant and I would highly recommend for anyone to give it a go. Lots of different theories were suggested to think about to help you make up your own mind as to what might have happened. Jeremy made sure that everyone kept up and ensured that everyone could hear what was said and pictures could be seen. Questions were asked of the group as to their thoughts on things. All together a brilliant time was had by all.

This was definitely worth booking. The actual locations/buildings aren’t really there anymore, but it’s less about seeing the buildings than it is learning about what happened. Philip was great and made it a great time, but was also very detailed about the history, remembering the victims, and what actually happened vs how it’s portrayed in movies and TV.

Did this tour recently and it totally exceeded my expectations. Our guide was Angie—she was brilliant. She was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic and handled a difficult subject really skilfully.
She painted a vivid picture of life in Whitechapel at that time and I’m still thinking about it 2 days later!

A massive thankyou to our tour guide Jeremy he clearly loves his job and sharing all his knowledge about Whitechapel and Jack the Ripper . Very animated and enthusiastic and even when he was up against helicopters bin lorries fire engines trying to drown him out he kept calm and carried on . Would highly recommend this tour it’s quite fast walking pace in between locations but this is because there is a lot to see within the time . Jeremy made this so interesting putting his own twists on the tour and having audience participation. Would highly recommend this tour and I am now looking at further reading recommended by Jeremy thankyou once again

After we booked a citytrip to London (from Belgium) we were looking for some interesting and learnfull things to do as a family while staying in London. We searched on the internet and found 'The Jack The Ripper Walking Tour'. English is not out native language but we could understand it very good. On the evening of 2022, April 8th we walked and listened to Angie. She tells you about the history of Jack The Ripper and the White Chapel East Side of London year 1888 with so much love and passion. I hope she find her time machine she was telling about :) I highly recommend this to anybody who's visiting London and loves history and dark stories.

Angie is an outstanding tour guide - articulate, engaging, and extremely well read. The story Angie tells isn't sensationalised at all, and it's a perfect blend of history and geography. Angie is particularly skilled at putting the focus on the people involved, reminding you that these were real people and not characters in a story, rather than just focusing on the events that occurred.
Angie's tour is also complimented by photos and an e-book that's delivered to your phone as you're on the tour. 12 quid for all of this is excellent value, particularly for London, and would strongly recommend this tour to anyone with even a passing interest in JtR or history in general. Thanks again Angie, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Thank you for your comments and we are very pleased to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your tour with Angie.
Its very important to us that the history is not glamourised and that participants in the case are treated sympathetically thus we are pleased that this is evident on the tour.
Its great to hear that you found Angie an outstanding guide, our guides really do appreciate hearing back.
We are also pleased to hear that you appreciated the ebook and that you feel the tour is excellent value for money. We do feel the tour has something to interest everyone - history, mystery, wonderful architecture.
Thank you for your recommendation.

We had the best tour with Angie, I had a good tipper knowledge but my daughter in law was newer to the detail. We both found it fascinating, absorbing and informative. Angie had great empathy for the victims which came across, the gory gruesome details were theatrically delivered and Angie enthusiasm for her subject evident. To walk the streets of Whitechapel knowing you are following in the tragic victims wake is atmospheric and spooky as we changed from day to night, I would definitely recommend this tour.

Hi Luna
Thank you for your comments and we are very pleased to hear that you both enjoyed the tour.
Its great that the tour appealed to both yourself with Ripper knowledge and your daughter in law who was new to the subject - we do feel the tour has so much to offer that it can appeal to may different interests.
We are pleased that you found Angie's tour fascinating, absorbing and informative and that Angie's empathy towards the victims was evident in her delivery.
Its a superb time to take the tour, as you so wonderfully described the light changing from day to night following in the footsteps of the persons involved in the case.
Thank you for your recommendation.

We did a virtual tour with author and tour guide Richard Jones through Jack the Ripper's East End. Richard is an expert on the case (check out his documentary "Unmasking Jack the Ripper") and a tour guide with almost 40 years of experience. So even when it was done virtually, the tour was excellent. Not only was Richard able to take us back to the streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields, he also did a great job in using film and photos from back then and the present and stepped into the scene himself a few times. Also, we were all given a free copy of his ebook "The London of Jack the Ripper", which is a great read. So, no matter if real or virtual, Richard Jones' Jack the Ripper Tour is truly a Walk Worth Investigating!

Dear Phil
Thank you for your review
Its great to hear that you enjoyed your virtual tour.
The virtual medium allows us to 'visit' all murder sites chronologically and also to show that area as it was during the autumn of terror and as it is today.
I also particularly enjoy the question and answer section after the tour discussing the case .
Thanks for the recommendation

This was a fantastic walking tour! I attended with my 4 teenagers/young adults and we all thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. Our host Jeremy was engaging and professional throughout, he managed to find a perfect balance between humour and genuine compassion for the unfortunate victims. I would recommend the tour to anyone and everyone with an interest in the history of the Whitechapel area and obviously “Jack the Ripper”! Thank you so much Jeremy

Hiya, I took my daughter (13years old). They check at the beginning of the tour, with the parent, that your child is OK with certain content and give you a chance to cover/avert their eyes when they show certain pictures.

Its about 2 hours the tour, so unless you're able to go before hand - its probably unlikely you'd need it unless you've drunk alot or have medical needs. Its a great tour so you don't want to miss any of it, but there are pubs you could duck into if desperate. It starts next to a hotel and ends at Aldgate East Tube Station.

Hello, possibly not as some of the surfaces are quite un-even as the tour winds around the backstreets of white Chappel. Although, if you are used to negotiating the roads and pavements of England you will probably be OK. I'm sure they will make you feel welcome.
